The Brothers Four - The New Frankie And Johnny Song lyrics

Frankie She was a fine lookin’ woman had a man named Johnny And she loved him She bought him a car and a suit of clothes Oh to see them Walkin’ arm-in-arm down along Can*l Street Frankie loved Johnny, Lord, everybody knows Well Frankie She came home one evening just a little bit early and she thought I’m gonna stop at the corner for a bottle of beer So she stopped there and she told her troubles to the fat bartender Said, Tell me, Fat Daddy, has my lovin’ Johnny man been here? He said, Frankie, Well I’m awful sorry you asked me that question You know I’m about as honest as man can be I saw Johnny . . . he was a walkin’ down Main and a-feelin’ no pain Just a slippin’ and a slidin’ with a gal named Annabel Lee Well Frankie Said, Oh, no, no, well, it can’t be so, because I know. . I know my lovin’ man wouldn’t do me wrong So she sat there. . . had a few more beers, shed a few more tears Said, I’m the best woman that scoundrel ever had Then Frankie She got into a taxi and she said to the driver, said Listen, don’t you stop for nothin’ on the way down town I’ve got a 45 here and I’m makin’ it clear I’m lookin’ for the man who’s givin’ me the runaround Well, Frankie, she got out on south Clark Street, looked in the window And she saw . . . she saw Johnny and Annabel swingin’ there So Frankie . . . she took deadly aim in that deadly game She shot her man in the middle of his big affair Now you’ve heard You’ve heard the story ‘bout Frankie and her man named Johnny And you know that was a game should have never been played And the moral of this sad tale, I’m a tellin’ you If you’re gonna fool around then you better pull the shades If you’re gonna fool around then you better pull the shades
